For today, the Northern Trust Golf Tournament is on CBS. After 16 holes, 2 golfers are tied for the lead and there is a pack 1 stroke behind. The chances of a playoff are pretty good. The scheduled completion time is 630pm with a half hour for CBS News, but that could well be obliterated by the playoff. If it goes past 7pm, then 60 Minutes and rest of the CBS Sunday lineup will be delayed.

TAR22 shouldn't be delayed that much compared to last season. PGA Golf might delay it depending on whatever (the competition, playoff, etc). IIRC, TAR20 was delayed last year due to golf (in addition to the Masters); probably the same tourney that's happening now (Northern Trust).

I think for the most part, we'll be alright. The only delays that are pretty much definite will be due to the Regional Final and the Masters (before and after the annual one-week Sunday TAR off-day, respectively). TAR on 3/24 may or may get delayed, based on whether basketball is on CBS, TBS, TNT, or TruTV for its late game.

Winning isn't everything, but it isn't considered nothing either. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a tribal council, a pit-stop, a boardroom, dimming of the lights, and so on

Looking ahead a few hours, CBS has 2 basketball games back-to-back with a projected finish of 6pm. With a buffer of 1 hour (CBS local and world news), there should be no problem for East Coast viewers to start 60 Minutes at 7pm tonight.

"what used to be 8pm is now 9pm." Spring forward, fall back means that the clock goes forward one hour on March 10, which relative to overseas time zones means that Amazing Race viewing happens one hour earlier.

Yes that is right. But for US, which is what I wrote, what was 8 will be 9. Which means everyone watching our live thread needs to come one hour earlier than they did the week before.

And to take another, completely hypothetical of course, example. If you are flying from Europe to the US on a flight which normally lands at 18.05 then this flight will land on 19.05 on Sunday. This time is of course calculated to give you a glimmer of hope of making it to your hotel room to the start of TAR at 20.00, but late enough so that realistically your chances are next to none.

And once Europe also switches to DST the flight will again arrive at 18.05.

Tonight 60 Minutes and the entire CBS lineup should be on time as the afternoon slots are for basketball games. The same should be true for next Sunday, the last before the NCAA Tournament begins. Once it's underway, we could see some delays on Sunday March 24 and Sunday March 31. The final 4 will not impact CBS Sunday night schedules on April 7 as it is on April 6 and 8.

So, the next question is whether that will be the last two legs or a full two hours for the final leg. Just looking at Dom's timeline and counting the Sundays until May 5th, it looks to me like a full 2 hours for the final leg!
